SCARCE ORIGINAL Remington Model 1875 Single Action Army

Manufacturer: Remington
Caliber: .44-40 Winchester
Barrel: 6.75
Bore Condition: Fair
This is a no reserve penny auction for a Remington Model 1875 Single Action Army revolver in .44-40 Win. Serial number- 490. This revolver is in fair condition for its age with a combination of rust and patina present throughout the metal surfaces. As expected with its age, some pitting is seen in the bore. Mechanically everything functions as it should, but we were unable to remove the cylinder pin. Remington produced the Model 1875 Revolver from 1875 until 1889, with a total production of between only 25,000 and 30,000 guns. This was a very small number when compared with Colt’s M1873 Single Action Army. In fact, Colt produced roughly four times as many Single Action Army revolvers during the same period as Remington manufactured M1875s, with some 115,000 SAAs leaving Colt’s Hartford plant between 1875 and the end of 1889, and a total of 130,000 being produced between their introduction in 1873 and the end of 1889.

Please refer to the photos as the lanyard ring is missing, the underside of the left grip panel has a small crack and missing corner.
